Brand: Halco · SKU: CAP/MH175 · UPC: 807154558599 · Category: Lamps & ballasts · Type: Ignitors & Capacitors
The Halco CAP/MH175 is a 10 microfarad, 400 volt dry-type capacitor sold as a replacement component for metal halide lighting ballasts, matching its listing under Halco's Ignitors and Capacitors subcategory and its MH part naming. Electrical contractors and facility maintenance crews use this type of capacitor when servicing an existing metal halide fixture whose original capacitor has failed, rather than installing new lighting equipment. In a metal halide ballast circuit, the capacitor corrects power factor and works with the ballast and ignitor to help start and maintain the discharge arc inside the lamp. This part is a dry-type capacitor, as opposed to an oil-filled unit, and it is rated at 400 volts, a common ballast-circuit voltage for smaller metal halide fixtures. Because capacitor voltage, capacitance, and construction type must match the original part for correct ballast operation, this listing gives contractors the specific 10 MFD, 400 volt, dry-type rating needed to identify a correct replacement for compatible metal halide fixtures during ballast or component service work.
It is a dry-type capacitor.
It is rated 10 MFD at 400V.
